Uhh... I hate winning the CCC, it means I have to actually think about what'll be next.

Anyway, this week you must create a character who only appeared in one movie/ book series/ etc and then was never seen again before or after that appearance. Those unlucky few who never got to come back in other material to expand on their story. They are allowed to have been mentioned in other stories, but they should have been in only one. And no, it can't be that one stormtrooper that took a shot at Luke in A New Hope, it should be an actual character. Sorry if that's a bit boring, I'm not great at CCC ideas, but it should give you a shot at creating characters that haven't been done before.

1. You may update any existing versions you already have and/or create a new one. You may update/create several versions of the character but you must ultimately select 1 you wish to run with. (this must be done by the schedule below)

2. Place a hyperlink in this forum to make it easier to find your character. You can just post the stats or image here but if changes are needed it would be easier (and save space) if you just used a Hyperlink (If you don't know how to post Hyperlinks in a forum setting please ask and we will help you. It's not hard )

3. Voting works as follows, pick your three favorite customs based on accuracy to the character, design, balance or whatever you decide makes the best incarnation of the challenge character. First place receives 3 points, 2nd place receives 2 points, and 3rd place receives 1 point.

4. You do not have to enter the contest in order to vote. But unless you enter you must have at least 10 forum posts.

5. To make things fair you must vote in order to win the contest. Try to give feedback if possible to help designers out. You must choose three characters entered in the contest and you may not rate or vote for your own character.

6. The winner will be decided by how many points they receive. Ties will be broken by most 1st place votes, then if still tied, 2nd place votes and then 3rd place votes. If still tied, then the outcome is a tie.

7. You may not change or update the entered character AFTER the deadline.

You will have until Sat, April 21th, 2018 @8pm EST to get your submissions in. Anything submitted after this point will not be included in the voting.


Voting will start at 8pm on Saturday evening and end at 11pm EST on Monday, April 23th, 2018.
At the conclusion of the voting the scores will be tallied and the winner will start a new topic with their choice of theme.

Here is my entry this week Lucia from the bane books.

I might polish up either;
Siri Tachi
or
Tahl.

Sorry, Kid #2 finished his Fireman's Probation and moved up tp Permanent. The ceremony was out of town.

On to other things.



Liash Keane, Technocrat









Far as I can tell, she's only been in Scum and Villiany, the RPG Resource book (I assume this falls under Etc.)
I made her 7 years ago, cleaned her up.

PS - The "Shadowport" ability is just a sub-faction I created.

EDIT - As I pointed out to GG, Techno is specifically Not included, just Tech's and Technician's.



Cheers,

Until I feel more creative here is one I have been trying to get into the game for years now, she starred in a handheld only video game for the PSP/DS and was a very unique pairing and cool way to play the game for a very Kyle Katarn-like character:

Currently, there are 14 characters with "Tech" in their name, non-unique takes out Wat and Bao, and I wasted card space (and you know how I feel on That) specifically saying non-unique characters named tech or technician, Not Techno (to eliminate the Techno Union specifically.)

Re: Master Splicer and Override, none of the characters that would get it cost more than 15 and have 30 hp's or less; they get shot, they die. A total of 10 characters qualify for this from five different factions; it opens up some interesting things to a wider group. I thought about this very carefully years ago to cover Exactly your concerns and actually lost a few things I wanted to include because card space was chewed up for your reasons, but oh well.

Yeah it Does give out two abilities that are otherwise hard to get, but Liash specifically sought out High Tech people for her Epsis syndicate and High End Tech's Should be able to do those things ... and she ain't cheap either .....

I only know of him from the Clone Wars shown 3 episodes or so. "The Box" and stuff. When Obi-wan was acting like a Bounty hunter.

Indeed. Semantics/proper English structure was never my strong suit .... fixed .....



Ah ... this is going to lead to a discussion on game mechanics vs Custom building. This CCC never said it had to be, for want of a better term, "V-Set ready" and usable to drop into a game. Would locking things up make the game slow down? Yes, but how many of these guys do you need in a group? R7 is cheap and just as easily accessible. As you said, nothings going to "break" the game, Liash is Not cheap so I don't see the big deal out of this; again, how many Techs Do you need in your squad before they become redundant and a liability?

Vader's Target is strictly thematic.

IO is there simply because he gives it out and I'm adverse to giving something that the character doesn't have himself, but I see Gandalf's and your point on it ....




I made it costing more than 4 to exclude the Mon Cal Tech, but even 3 less the Uggie would still only cost 4 and at 10 hp he'd die in a heartbeat. The reason I have Affinity is to bring in the 4 non-Fringe Techs/Technicians (which is why he hands out IO.) I could make it "costing more than 7" but would excluding the Ugg be That big a deal?? Camaraderie hands out four abilities; Shadowport is my sub-faction and doesn't Touch anything official, IO only affects 4 characters. Is having Override & Master Slicer That big a deal with characters that have almost No D or HP?? Again, R& is so cheap and a character that has 10-30 HP having Master Slicer can't do much damage by itself that two characters with a way to go through the door couldn't do ....


PS - There are unwritten rules in the CCC?????? (Besides fitting onto a card I mean )
